I hear it from Black freelancers all the time, especially new ones….grinding, spending hours and days checking job boards, sending out endless prospecting letters and pitches.

Sometimes, for some of us, I think it’s just too much.

Don’t get me wrong. Freelancing takes work and dedication right from the jump, but sometimes another hour on Upwork isn’t the answer. Sometimes more prospects aren’t what you need. Sometimes, more won’t get you anywhere but tired.

Remember that before you pour yourself into this world you need a strategy.

That said, I didn’t create the BlackFreelance Profile workbook just to give you strategic direction. I did it to save you time, frustration, and improve your mental health…we’re all in this to balance income and peace right?

If you haven’t downloaded yours, pick it up now. If you think it’s something you can put off another week or month, this review might change your mind..

And remember, driving yourself too hard now? It’s a hard habit to break as your freelance business grows. Start the way you want to finish.
